About Me
My name is Fangkai Jiao (焦方锴). I am a third-year PhD candidate at Nanyang Technological University and Institute of Infocomm Research (I2R), A*STAR, with A*STAR SINGA Scholarship. I am fortunate to be supervised by Prof. Shafiq Joty, Prof. Nancy F. Chen and Prof. Aixin Sun. Before that, I obtained both my M.Eng. and B.Eng. degree from Shandong University in 2022 and 2019, respecitively, under the supervision of Prof. Liqiang Nie. I also work closely with Dr. Yangyang Guo, Dr. Zhiyang Teng and Zhengyuan Liu. I have interned at CoAI Lab, Tsinghua University, mentored by Prof. Minlie Huang, DAMO Academy, Alibaba-inc, mentored by Dr. Feng Ji and Dr. Feng-Lin Li, and Langboat Technology.
My primary research interest includes self/weak-supervised training and machine reasoning with large language models. I’m also one of the main contributors to PandaLLM project.
